You can play Black Ops 3 before it comes out

If you pre-order this year’s edition of Call of Duty, you’ll be able to participate in the Black Ops 3’s multiplayer beta before it launches later this fall.

“The public MP beta will be available for anyone who pre-orders the game,” said Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia. “We want people to play before it launches. The team is so excited to offer this opportunity, which is something the franchise hasn’t done since Call of Duty: World at War.”

While the beta has no release date, the game is expected to arrive on November 6 for next-gen only consoles: Xbox One, PS4, and PC. While many have grown tired of the year-to-year entries to the Call of Duty franchise, we’re personally excited to see what Treyarch will do without the limitation of making Black Ops 3 for previous-gen consoles. Let us know in the comments if you’re excited too!
